Ribbon Cuttings

Why is a Ribbon Cutting important?
A Ribbon Cutting Ceremony is an important part of your overall marketing and advertising plan for the local community. It's also a great way to kick-off a grand opening of a business. It offers the opportunity to meet key leaders in the community and get acquainted with your neighbors and Chamber Members.

Scheduling a Ribbon Cutting
Scheduling a Ribbon Cutting with the Chamber should take place a minimum of two to four weeks before the event to allow the Chamber time to invite members of the Chamber's Board of Directors, special guests, and Chamber Members.

To begin the process of scheduling a Ribbon Cutting, Members can email us at info@duvallchamberofcommerce.com.

Criteria for Chamber Involvement

1. A ribbon cutting must take place within 6 months of the opening, moving or expansion of a business.
2. We would like to ensure Chamber Members, staff and special guests are available for an event, so the Chamber tries not to schedule more than one event per day and no more than four events per month.
3. It is also recommended that business owners choose several possible dates for an event, in order to work around events that the Duvall Chamber of Commerce and/or City of Duvall may already have scheduled.
4. In order to ensure that the Duvall Chamber of Commerce can successfully market each event, we recommend a three to four-week notice to include details about the event in our communications with membership and our web calendar. We appreciate you providing a graphic to us to post and advertise with!
5. We recommend a ribbon cutting be scheduled during business hours, which are generally 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.  In our experience, events held during the day are better attended by Chamber membership and elected officials.
